He really was a genius. I think its inspiring how much high quality work he created all by himself. A true hacker IMO.

Quite a low comment. Terry Davis had schizophrenia and could code circles around just about anyone.

Sorry, it wasn't my intention to make you feel harassed. Your advice probably makes a lot of sense for people who like to release many smaller products. Scope creep and extreme complexity are problems I've struggled with myself, a

Lmao. HN people don't want to grind for years to solve tough problems. They want to find some 'hack' or side-trick to bypass everything. But the reality is some problems take a long time to solve. How long do you think Bitcoi

Maybe it doesn't have to be complex. Gwern could just have a restructured text feature to their articles that auto-builds to a PDF that you can buy as an on-demand book or get it on kindle. I don't think it has to be on a single s

This guy is very naive if he thinks flicking a few buttons in the UI of his ancient operating system is going to keep him from getting pwt. Edit: might as well provide more info. Windows XP was notorious for its security issues which were f

>Not type safe That's the point. Look up what duck typing means in Python. Your program is meant to throw exceptions if you pass in data that doesn't look and act how it needs to. This means that in Python you don't need t

Throwing frozensets out, too. If regular sets aren't obscure enough, frozensets might be your thing. It looks like a set, it acts like a set, but its... hashable (for indexing) and (immutable.) Why use this? For algorithms that rely on

They don't want to know. They just want you to reconfirm their own bias in different words.

What does everyone think about the 'trusted' setup part of zero-knowledge proofs? Is this a deal breaker for some use-cases or can this phase be done without worrying that the entire process has been hijacked... As has been a core

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Believe it or not, not everyone wants to release every work under their identity. I know that most HNers are only motivated by ego and money though. So it's probably an alien perspect

I had projects that were in every major news outlet when I was about 20. Press doesn't mean your projects are good. Don't believe your own hype. its p toxic.

Yeah dude, take my money. I can't believe what I'm seeing. You've actually given me a reason to use a second monitor again.

Bro thinks we need to look at their hello world bit shifts and basic js.

Yeah, I have to agree with you here. 4chan does actually have a well-developed programming culture with their own memes. They came up with a quirky algorithm for sorting numbers using sleep (not practical but fun and very out of the box.) A

Honestly it might not be you. Simplicity is very valued in good code. So if its hard to understand its probably not good code.

I love the airpods but ah... they dont play well with any kind of metal work. If you do metal work with a file the shavings get everywhere and once they stick to the magnet its almost impossible to get them out. I guess this is a very unusu

I don't think we should blame the victim. Tech is insanely complex and some scams are so sophisticated now that if you're not switched on all the time you might get caught. The vector here seems to be an app posing as something tr

Those function definitions really look amazingly readable. I've seen this done before in other languages and its usually quite horrible. Maybe Zig is worth learning? This is a killer feature.

Why would it make single threaded performance slower? Sorry, but that's kind of ridiculous. You're just making shit up at this point.

Now just needs some kind of hack for networking through a browser extension and this would be so awesome.

I don't know what the take away is supposed to be here. Everything spoken about here is already basic network programming. It seems to focus on higher level plumbing and geeks out on state management even though this is just a matter o

Anyone else here just totally crap bricks when they see news like this? Like, I wake up and instantly think all my servers are going to be owned and freak out. Though its usually never that bad, sometimes it is. Looks like in this case my d

Then what are people supposed to use for remote servers? Should we fly to the sight and use a serial terminal? Like wtf are you even talking about.

As a fellow aussie I'm proud of Assange. I am kind of surprised other Australians feel the same because we're kind of a nation of bootlickers. I'm curious what happens now though. If he returns to Australia. Is he actually go
